Try getlisten2it.com they have more than 900 voices in 140+ languages with editing options and you can also add background music to your audio. I feel they have realistic voices with great options. They have great trial options too. Source: over 1 year ago

Agree. They are freakishly realistic and the number of options text-to-speech software provide is amazing.
